Yue Hengjin spoke with a hint of sadness. At the end of his speech, he bowed his head in sorrow with dejected sorrow.
Qin Zongheng, who knelt down from the longevity palace to the royal study, raised his head after hearing the words, his eyes widened. Just when he was about to refute, he felt Qin Zongliang's cold gaze next to him, falling on his face, and then he suppressed his words. .
Uncle Qin Guo and Qin Zongliang knelt down to apologize after Yue Hengjin finished speaking.
The emperor said in a deep and expressionless voice: "Where is the crime?"
Uncle Qin: "Your Majesty, Zong Heng has an open and simple temperament, and he has provoked his enemies somewhere. It was only yesterday that such a scandal occurred. I felt deeply ashamed of the Yue family. After settling the guests in the house, I prepared a generous gift and came to apologize. Lord Yue is open-minded and tolerant, and has accepted the apology from the Duke's Mansion, and is preparing to set a date for the wedding another day."
Qin Zongliang said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yue can forgive my younger brother, and the Duke's mansion is filled with gratitude. Yesterday on the way back to the mansion, his father also taught my younger brother that after marrying Mingzhu, he should be filial to Mr. Yue. But he didn't expect that Mr. Yue would forgive him. People are suffering from emergencies, but they don’t give us a chance to repay their kindness.”
Uncle Qin grabbed the ground with his head and cried out in pain:
"Weak ministers are not strict in educating their children. Even if Meng Lang has a dog-like temper, someone with an intention will take advantage of the loophole. Although we know that Mr. Yue's death is strange, but what happened yesterday, the Duke's Mansion really can't stand up to the Yue family. If Mr. Yue surrenders to the country, The government is responsible for this matter, and I am willing to pay for it with my life, without any hesitation!"
After Uncle Qin Guo finished speaking, everyone present except Qin Zongliang was shocked.
Emperor: "You said you wanted to pay for Mr. Yue's life? What do you mean by those who are interested?"
Uncle Qin straightened up, looked at the emperor, and said sincerely with tears streaming down his face:
"Your Majesty, the glory of the Duke's Palace is given by your Majesty, and Weichen's family is grateful for this. Mr. Yue is your majesty's uncle, how can Weichen dare to despise him? How dare he harm his life? What happened yesterday was too much. What’s strange is that I still feel deeply ashamed of myself towards Mr. Yue. I wanted to make amends with him in the future, but I didn’t want to have another chance forever..."
Uncle Qin Guo knelt down in grief and could not stand up, but Qin Zongliang beside him helped him upright.
"Now that things have happened, even if someone with good intentions borrows a knife to kill someone and frame the blame, Mr. Yue is gone after all... I won't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me... How can the conscience of a humble minister be at ease..."
Standing aside, Uncle Qin's figure, which used to be strong and strong, now also looked decadent. He bent down and supported the ground with his hands, and slowly knelt down beside Uncle Qin:
"Your Majesty, if Mr. Yue really suffered this disaster because of someone who suppressed the Duke's government, he was also implicated by the Duke's government. The Qin family's failure to discipline the younger generations is the reason for others to grasp it. I am already old. Gao, I am willing to pay for my life for Mr. Yue. I only ask Mr. Yue and Your Majesty to forgive the descendants of the Qin family."
The old voice of Qin Guozhang was filled with sadness. After finishing his words word by word, he bowed his head and kowtowed.
The three uncles of Qin State all kowtowed and took responsibility, and each proposed to pay for his life.
Yue Hengjin looked at the Duke of Qin's family in shock, then raised his head and glanced at the emperor. After meeting his gaze, he hurriedly lowered his head.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the people below with his bright eyes. He was silent for a long time and then said in a deep voice:
"I will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, and we will discuss it after the investigation is clear. The most important thing now is to take good care of the mother's health, and to make arrangements for the funeral of Mr. Yue."
In Cuiwei Palace.
After hearing the news, Chu Chengyao's eyes flashed with regret:
"It's a pity. It would be better if the Qin family could argue more..."
